Oh My Stomach!
For a few weeks I felt something wrong with my health, just didn't know what exactly happened. Until one day, I was blamed for something during work, I realized that it's my stomach. Because everyone said stomach hurts when one is nervous. I went to a doctor and she told me that I may have some stomach problems. From now on, I'll take better care of my eating habit, as now I know how hurt it is. I tried to eat regularly and in really slow motion.
About eating, someone in my company got promoted and he bought us a meal. He first agreed to treat us buffet but then it turned out to be some cakes and drinks from McCafe (McDonald's Cafe). And two weeks later, our CEO asked about the meal and eventually he still needed to treat us some Dim Sums at a Chinese Restaurant. Good eat~

Wedding
It must be an exciting title......... Well... not mine... haha...
There were 4 couples that I know got married within the last two weeks. How "fortunate" these days should be. One was held in the States and the other three were here. While I saw those beautiful pictures taken during Tea Test's wedding and tried to imagine how wonderful that day was (Sure it was a wonderful day and it's also a day that I turned 27), I finally saw the secret baby in My Waters.
About the only one I have attended, this was the first invitation from my college classmates. It turned out to be a class reunion. I met a friend that I didn't see for 6 or 7 years. The reception started by a video, recording the groom's impression to the bride and the day how he proposed a year ago. I am kind of surprised that he can record that down as there were so many people in the setting while he proposed. It must be discussed widely as one needed to hold the camcorder. I wonder what would happen if the bride said something else rather than yes immediately. The funniest part of the video is, he actually claimed openly that the bride took the active role at the beginning of their relationship. Incredible... It ended at 1145pm and I was so tired that night. I took a train home and I almost got out from a wrong station... Stupid me... Jumped back into the next train and got home at almost 2am... zzzzzz......

My thesis
It is Mid Moon Festival today. So many weird things happened....
At the morning, I was asked to observe some chemical cleaning (acid/base/organic solvent/water) processes and give comments on process control. A young man was doing the cleaning by the first time. When I was trying to sit down in front of him, he dropped a 1000ml breaker on the desk between us and glass was spreading radically. It's just about my face level if I sat down ......Lucky me.
Today, I received my thesis from my wonderful labmate. Somehow I was not very interested in my own thesis. So, I opened it quite late and didn't really look at it. My brother was interested and I told him that this is my first book written. He tried to read it out and what he read was so odd so I took a look to my thesis. FYI: it's supposed to be Inscription and Characterization of Fiber Bragg Gratings in Multi-mode As2S3 Optical Fiber at 1550nm Using Interferometric method and Phase Mask Methods. How can this happen?

Dentist
Well, just get one of my wisdom teeth removed half hour ago. Now, I can't speak... The anaesthetic is still in effect.
Before this happened, I ate whatever I want to eat. I went to Shenzhen yesterday for some books related to metallurgy and I went to Little Sheep for lamb hot pot. :)
One of my university classmate is getting marry a week after Helen and this is a great opportunity for us to have a gathering. It seems like there was only one or two gathering after I left HK for my graduate study. All of us have had different experience. Some had little changes. Some kept studying different degrees. I have a friend studied physics, maths and EE besides the first degree. Some went for more advanced degrees. While I choose to return, some other choose to leave. Still, I hope and I believe that I made the right choice, though it is not easy to separate from the one I love.
Um... I should go to sleep before it hurts. Hopefully it won't swell that bad this Wednesday as I will meet some of my high school friends.

Wow...
Wow... I never know that there are so many friends watching what I wrote.. :)
Last week, I spent time on investing new clothes and new hair style, even new furnitures for my bedroom~ My friend invited me to her house warming party. That's a really nice place. Dunno when I will have my own though...
Last night, I finally started working on preparation of the interview scheduled this morning. I had to find out all of my certificates. When it rained this morning, I was scared because I was bringing all my valuable paper with me. I also took the handbag my sister gave me. My sister shipped it to me for interviews or formal occasions and I used it once (or twice) before I brought it back home. It's a DKNY leather handbag and it's even heavier than my laptop.
Anyway, I get the job offer and I am going to accept it. I'll start working as a senior reliability engineer next month. No more free time...

First day back in Hong Kong
I arrived the HK airport at around 930pm but eventually I leave the gate at 1000pm. My friends came to pick me up. The weather was first okay, though we know that the typhoon warning Signal No 1 was posted. When we finally arrived the final bus stop, it is pouring.
Well, my first impression of my home is, where are those clusters coming from? There were different kinds of boxes (paper box, plastic box) and all kinds of small decoration items. The bathroom looks nice. The kitchen with marble countertop but it didn't match the old tiles. The doors are nice and my room is bigger than before. My mother's room has slide doors and when I open them, I feel that it is a closet, may be a walk-in one.
Last night I can't sleep well, I went to bed at 2am and can't stand the noise and small of new bed so I woke up at 4am, started unpacking my luggages. This is probably the fastest time I unpacked, because I knew there are tonnes of stuffs kept in my room. I feel a bit hopeless to clear all those clusters while so many things do not belong to me.
I intended to start a new bank account to save my money but I was treated like an illegal immigrant as my ID card is in old version and I don't have a
valid address proof. HSBC is as bad as I knew and they charge if US cash deposit over $1000 at a time. I still believed that I did right, not bring a HSBC check back.
I have new cell phone number and my mother had to be the applicant. The salesperson this time was really nice. He seemed to try his best to take our business. He bowed to us so many times that in fact I felt so weird.
I planned to go for a haircut and perming in the afternoon. But then, Typhoon Signal No 3 and No 8 were posted early afternoon and all stores would close. Still remembered that my 18th years old birthday party with some of my high school friends was canceled because of Typhoon Signal No 10. Ha... and the last Signal No 8 was 3 years ago. 你也不得不信,這是"貴人招風雨"~~

Dead Fish
As summer is coming, it is fishing time again~ Despite the high gas price these days, we still go fishing every 2 weeks. However, my attitude towards fishing is pretty different now. In the past, I liked to keep all fish which I think it is at edible size. Killing fish is time consuming. Now, I release whole bunch of fish just because they are not that big as those I can steam one for dish after we saw a friend spending a few hours to kill 40ish fish for only 1 dish.
Yesterday, we tried a new spot for fishing. The weather is nice and in 2 hours time we both caught and release a small fish. The most funny thing is, he also caught a big fish from the water, a dead one though...

Update
Um....... Sometimes it is just too hard to keep a diary writing habit for me. This is why I never update my blog. Now, I am trying to write something new here just for my special friend who started her new blog as some sort of encouragement. Ha.. I am good, ain't I?
While I am thinking about what I should post here, I realized that I made a lot of nice dishes and may be I can share with you. Cooking is fun and it is one of the things I can do beside boring research and that simple life style here. Unfortunately, all the pictures I took are in the desktop at home while I am now at my office, waiting for the equipment to warm up. So, if you come here later, I will show you my works~ I am sure that you will be surprised.

No Fish..?
While my fridge is out of fish, I heard that many people caught a lot of fish during the weekend. This made me excited and therefore we went fishing in the evening. The water was low. Um... Many people were there but I can see little fish were being caught near me. Finally, we got nothing. Don't worry.. There was somebody keeping some fish for us.. So, we still had fish for dinner~ Sweet~
Selling Stuffs
We sold a lot of things though posting on the web rather. We also sent out advertisement through newsgroup. Some people bargained a lot, criticizing the stuffs like priceless but they still wanted it, which drove me crazy. Well, I decided I won't send any advertisement on that newsgroup again and may be I should do the advertising earlier.
Luckily, most of the stuff are gone and we now have plenty of space and no more urge to sell things.

Boss is back!
Since my boss is back this week, he planned meeting with us. Um.. I don't have much to talk about though. :( I was worry and did a lot of experiement, trying to get some exciting data. Of course, I do not succeed.
I came in exceptionally early this morning to prepare for my meeting. At least, I have to make him feel that I have been working hard. :p No sooner, someone emailed me and said Dr. Martin is not in today, there is not meeting. I collapsed.

Our own Garage Sale
We decided to hold a garage sale so that we can remove some huge or unused items. We printed out the sign and post it everywhere. Everything we wanted to sell was placed at the living room. I thought we did plenty of preparation.
Throughout the day, there were <10 people visiting and basically no item was sold. Oops...
See, garage sale is not as easy as you think.

Another weekend
We went to many garage sale yesterday morning. But really, either the price is out of budget, or the items are basically junk. Sometimes, the direction was bad and we missed many places with garage sale. There was a place where people were removing stuff when we arrive. A girl there said we can take whatever we wanted. Since it's free, I found the grill pretty attractive. Haha.. because of some hidden reason, we finally donate $2 as it's a Muslim temple. We brought it home and the first thing I made is marshmallow, but somebody seemed not interested. :p I wonder why this delicious grilled marshmallow attracts nobody while it's so popular among American and HK people.
Today, I tried to relax myself and shaked my fist. Somebody suddenly came to me. --> I gave him a punch. Oops... Eventhough I practiced karate, I never really hit a guy at his face... Luckily no blood occured..

Nice BBQ
We went to the Hickory Grove Park where is 30 min away from Ames from BBQ. We had 2 cars and we both got lost by missing the same intersection. Of course, we finally got to the place but it took us much longer time.
I had been to the park before (basically every year) for camping. It seemed to be a better place than I would expect. Easily we found the beach. I didn't swim as I had my contacts on. Still, it's nice to play inside the water. We rented a canoe ($ 9 for an hour) and a paddle boat and wandering around the lake. Some of us played frisbee but I am just not keen at it so I did the cooking work. It was fun.
We had tonnes of food. After we're done, we still had half of them.. People even tried to have another BBQ at the next day. But there was thunderstorm and this plan couldn't come true.

Scary Thunderstorm
We went fishing after 5pm.
As usual, after getting some baits from the store, I drove to the dam. Well, when I made a big turn and the bucket holding water and baits fell down. Fish and water were on the floor... Oops..
It's so lucky that I got a fish at the my first trial today and it's big, compared to those I fished before. After we all successfully got some fish, 'somebody' dropped his cap into the stream. After several attempts, he fished back his hat. Thunderstorm which I thought was far away finally came to our place. I felt like I was close to a tornado... The wind was so strong that it blew everything away.. Sand hit my face so strongly.. With no choice, we had to head back.
